My Very Own Darling,

As you can see I am writing this at home.  Before I left Nottm: for my week-end I received a letter from you, making the third air letter from you this week.

It was the first letter you wrote me upon your return from Naples.  I am so glad that you enjoyed your leave Darling and that you are feeling better for it.

I suppose you will be wondering why I am at home and not in London where I said I might be going.  I did not change my mind until last Wednesday.  As it is nearly six weeks since I had my last week-end I was feeling rather tired so I decided that I would like to spend a quiet two days at home.

It was really heavenly staying in bed this morning until ten o-clock instead of hearing a shrill voice say “Six o-clock Nurse.”

I arrived here at seven last night.  I decided to put a ‘phone call through to my friend to tell her that I was definitely not going to London so I decided that as I had got as far as the Institute I would walk a bit further and see everybody at 19’.

Your Mother had only been back from Hull a few hours.  She said that Mrs Carter and Wendy had been with her.

Last Thursday I was very careless and lost £2-10s out of my hand bag.  Luckily the person that found it was honest and I had it returned to me Friday morning.  Yes, I think that I must have been born under a lucky star.

However, your Mother decided that I ought to have something to keep my notes in (we nurses get so many, you know) so she has lent me a wallet which you left at home.  Do you mind me borrowing it, Darling?  I promise you I will take great care of it.

As a matter of fact I got quite a thrill when your Mother lent it to me.  It is nice to have something which belongs to you. 

How I wish you were here with me this week-end. 

All my love Darling.  Grace  xxxxx

G.H.N. 29-5-44                                                                                (132) My Very Own Darling, It is perfect “Whit Monday” weather.   It has been really hot all day.*   I have felt very glad that we are not busy as it has been too hot to do much work. At the moment I have only eight patients on the ward.   I can hardly believe it until I look around and see the empty beds. Of course there is still enough work to do.   We have all been busy making bandages and cutting up extra “stock” (cotton wool, etc.)   That sort of work however is far less s...

Bristow Headquarters 15 L of C Signals Cen Med Forces                                                                            146. 9 May 44 My Very Own Darling, It is too good to be true!   Another letter from you yesterday which took only six days.   I shall never grumble at the APO again!! I see that like me you are counting the months as they pass. I do so wish the much talked about second front would start.   If we could get cracking in Europe it would be very encouraging wouldn’t it?    I hope that once our troops have landed on the continent it won’t be a l...
